Pinehurst = Golf!

Golf is more than a tradition here; it's an enjoyable obsession! The world-famed golf course designer, Donald Ross, designed the first golf course in Pinehurst in 1901. There are over 40 championship-quality golf courses within a 20 minute drive and the mild climate allows play twelve months of the year. The renowned North/South Amateur Golf Championship, the longest consecutively running golf championship in the United States, was first held here in 1902; the U.S. Men's Open, the U.S. Women's Open and the U.S. Senior Open Golf Championships were all held here in the 1990's; and the PGA Tour Championship was held at the famous Ross-designed Pinehurst #2 course for two consecutive years in 1991 and 1992. The U.S. Men's Open will again be played in Pinehurst in 2005, and the U.S. Women's Open is scheduled again in 2007.
